| | Second, there's a conspiracy theory that the European Union was part of an Anglo-American-Zionist plot to hijack and destroy efforts to create an independent, united Europe that would prevent efforts by either the United States or Russia to dominate the continent (the original intent of the post-WWII European integration movement). Right now, this conspiracy theory is popular only among fringe elements of the nationalist/populist movement, and among neo-Nazis. But what happens once the European Union falls apart? Will this conspiracy theory gain popularity in mainstream European politics, especially if my "21st century Treaty of Versailles" fear comes to pass? And if so, will this lead to the rise of governments in European countries that are blatantly anti-American? --[[User:James Kardys|James Kardys]] ([[User talk:James Kardys|talk]]) 11:48, 21 April 2018 (EDT) | | Second, there's a conspiracy theory that the European Union was part of an Anglo-American-Zionist plot to hijack and destroy efforts to create an independent, united Europe that would prevent efforts by either the United States or Russia to dominate the continent (the original intent of the post-WWII European integration movement).

| | + | ::I'm not talking about post-1945 geopolitical hatreds. I'm talking about pre-1945 genocidal hatreds where some European countries (like Germany) considered the peoples of their enemies (like Poland and Russia) to be subhumans worthy of extermination. We haven't seen the return of '''those''' hatreds yet. But I fear that we soon might, especially if the collapse of the EU results in Germany being assigned sole blame for the wrongs inflicted by the EU and humiliated in a manner similar to Versailles (a real possibility, given Germany's role in the migrant fiasco and Poland's increasingly and understandably anti-German foreign policy positions). I don't know if you're aware of it, but neo-Nazism is already growing in Germany today, especially now that Mein Kampf is in the public domain there. Should Germany end up in a situation similar to that after Versailles, I fear we could see history repeat itself. You do know why and how Hitler's rise to power was made possible, right? --[[User:James Kardys|James Kardys]] ([[User talk:James Kardys|talk]]) 13:21, 21 April 2018 (EDT) |
